NEW ENTERPRISE.
The Los Angeles Turf and Grair,
Exchange.

This evening will mark the inaugu-
ration of another very necessary and
timely acquisition to the business in
terests Of Los Angeles. This is in the
opening of the Los Angeles Turf and
Grain Exchange, under the auspices
Of Messrs. Henry Schwartz and Henry
L. Rodman. This institution is
opened for the purpose of affording to
the sport-loving public an opportunity
in common with all cities OF metro
politan proportions or preten-
tions, of visiting the elegant
establishment in the U. S. Hotel
building, corner Requena and Main
streets, where every facility has been
prepared whereby they may be ena-
bled to back their opinions upon all
racing and other events, both foreign
and domestic, as these may occur dur
ing the season. Mr.. Schwartz and Mr..
Rodman will both be in attendance
this evening to receive in person all
visitors and show them the spacious
and superbly appointed rooms secured
for their business. Mr.. Rodman
will remain here and officiate
as the permanent manager of the new
exchange; and while pressing busi-
ness in San Francisco will preclude
the possibility of Mr.. Schwartz re-
mains here all the time, yet he will
be here from time to time to give the
new institution the benefit OF his
great experience. So charmed has
this gentleman become with Los
Angeles that he deeply regrets his in
ability to become a permanent resi-
dent of the city.
With them they bring full
corps of very efficient clerks. in
Guiding an experienced operator
to receive and transmit the news OF all
events by wire. These gentlemen
will be pleased to attend to every
want of all visitors to the Exchange.
Every bit of information in this line
of business possible to obtain from all
parts of the world will be furnished
for the benefit of the public. There
will be an auction pool-selling every
evening at Z 80 sharp. On these oc-
casions Mr.. Rodman will otficiate,
and each move in all exciting events
will appear as promptly and as
plainly almost as to eye-witnesses
from the start to the finish. Specta-
tors will know of the progress of
race when it is taking place as well as
if they stood on the grand stand. 1t
is an suspicious circumstance that the
Exchange opens tonight with the
great races at Sheepshead Bay, New
York. All entries, the names of start
ers, and the order OF the flyers at quar-
ter. half, three-quarter post, and when
they pass under the wire with the
time will appear. There will also be
combination, straight and place book
making, good prices being offered on
all events with long odds against all
outsiders. The new rooms on the
corner of Main and Requena street
are spacious, finely finished and
superbly furnished in all respects.
Every possible preparation is
made for the comfort and con-
venient service of visitors
OF whom great many are sure to be
present on this occasion. Mr.. Schwartz
has brought here full carload of ele-
CANT furniture from his place in San
Francisco.
Do not fail to take in the Exchange
this evening to see how perfect is
every detail, and how race on Long
Island can be represented to the eyes
of the people in Los Angeles. Illustra-
tions of the workings of the business
will be given. Trials of speed and the
breeding up of horse flesh has been a
gentleman's occupation since men
were, "before the time of Agamem-
non," The Los Angeles Turf Ex-
change will stimulate interest in this
princely sport, and may be the means
of making our own Agricultural Park
events more W wArthy the birthplace of
Sweetheart, Eva, Volante and the
other fine horses of the Rose and
Baldwin studs.
